Re: what's a 'block element?' was: reliable way to float a block of text?

Ahhhaaaaa! Veeeerrryyy interesting. That makes sense.  What if you aligned
the table to the left? Would it work the same? I know tables are left
aligned by default, but what if you specified align="left" in the table tag?
Would it still be the same as float: left? Just curious.
